From the High Roller Straight Into the Main Event
Level 7
: 250/500, 50 ante
After finishing runner-up to Mike McDonald in the €25K High Roller, Juha Helppi has opted to jump into the Main Event. He got off to a quick start working his 30,000 starting stack up to nearly 45,000, but he just his a small road bump.
We missed the action unfold, but we do know a short-stacked Bob Ekelund got his last 4,200 or so all in preflop and was at risk against Helppi.
Ekelund: 
Helppi: 
It was a flip, and Ekelund managed to pull ahead on the 
flop. Neither the 
turn nor 
river helped Helppi, and he sent a small portion of his stack over to Ekelund.
